I'm glad you liked the link.
Very ...Hi Chris. I'm glad you liked the link. <br /><br />Very few downsides to synesthesia; I'm grateful to have it. But it's like anything else relating to the senses: If you have a well-developed palette and a terrible wine crosses it, it's so much worse. If you have sensitive hearing that allows you to discern sounds and sources, loud or unpleasant sounds will be worse for you. In this way, when I hear music with ugly shapes, it's almost unendurable to listen to it. (I hate jazz. HATE it. Even as I recognize what a brilliant art form it is.)Luridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396710898271581310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057129053678251717.post-16345826541602363832012-04-20T23:04:35.654-07:002012-04-20T23:04:35.654-07:00Waiting stinks.

I've been really lucky; the wait for my clinical trial assessment portion was to be months but I was not in good shape and had no coverage for psych stays so I got in there quickly and then transferred to this doctor without waiting b/c of just finishing the trial. I see my psychiatrist right around then so I'll be sure to ask her. I wish I just could send you to her. Bipolar is her thing and she's amazing, like can guesstimate what meds will be really bad and what dose will get results. She lets me make informed decisions and when I had toxicity and was in the hospital she called me 3 or 4 times to check in, plus monitored my chart from home AND took the time to personally call the resident covering the ER and gave him so much information that my hallucinating, confused self couldn't have. I love her. Sorry it took so long to get back to your page; computer problems, AT&T problems, mean people problems, it's been a crazy time.Just Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01085642883987294862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057129053678251717.post-37861089820581322492012-04-14T13:55:27.512-07:002012-04-14T13:55:27.512-07:001)Loved your link to the scale of the universe!
2...1)Loved your link to the scale of the universe! <br />2)Good luck with your new doc.<br />3)Synaesthesia-first read about it in The Man Who Tasted Shapes. Been intrigued ever since.

Keeping my fingers crossed for now--I got an appointment, but it's not until May 14.Luridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396710898271581310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057129053678251717.post-148018683766391042012-04-06T20:07:39.482-07:002012-04-06T20:07:39.482-07:00I just wanted to tell you if you ever want a refer...I just wanted to tell you if you ever want a referral for a psychiatrist I can ask Dr. Brain and I'd be shocked if she didn't know someone, especially since you are in Ohio. When my sister was pregnant and showed signs that she was going to have some mood issues with hormones Dr. Brain was able to give me a couple names, off the top of her head, one of whom had a lot of experience with postpartum depression/anxiety. Turned out my sister was herself again as soon as she had the baby, but she's high risk with any pregnancy. She never knew I had the referrals because she was so volatile during the pregnancy. I truly thought she hated me. Another time Dr. Brain was going to be off for surgery and I was in the midst of asthma attacks that weren't controlled and needing treated without steroids unless it was emergent and if it was emergent I wanted moved to Cleveland Clinic and "my floor". So she out of the blue knew someone in the small town where I worked. <br /><br />Anyway, I know she doesn't mind, especially if i tell her you cycle like I did/still do apparently. If you want me to ask in case I see her next week. You can email me (really anytime) at masterofirony@gmail.com<br /><br />JenJust Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01085642883987294862noreply@blogger.com
